Today's maths Challenge-Comparing volume and Capacity

We thought it would be a really good idea to take advantage of the last of the sunshine for this week and take the maths learning outside. Today we are going to use water and containers to learn about capacity. 

When we are learning about capacity-how much liquid is in a container, we use words like full, half full, nearly full, nearly empty and  empty to describe how much liquid we can see in a container

Challenge 1

Find some containers in the house e.g. pans, cups, dishes and tubs. Fill them up in the paddling pool or in a bowl of water.

Draw the container you have used and how much water it contains. Write the words empty, full, half empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty to describe how full or empty the container is.

Challenge 2

Ask an adult to write the words empty, full, half empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty on a piece of paper. Ask them to hold up the words, randomnly . Read the word and fill up the container to match the word.

Challenge 3

Which container holds the least and most water in your house? Draw a picture of each container and how much liquid it held.
